The International Society for Laboratory Hematology (ISLH) is a non-profit organisation founded in 1992. Its purpose is to provide a forum for dissemination of new ideas and information related to the field of laboratory hematology. ==History== In 1984 Dr Berend Houwen began to organize meetings which brought together scientists, manufacturers, clinicians, and regulatory representatives to exchange ideas on technical innovations in laboratory hematology. The first meeting was held in Banff, Alberta, Canada. The success of these meetings led to the formation of ISLH in 1992. At the time of incorporation, members of the society decided that a new journal be started to provide a forum for publication of research and review articles in the broadening arena of laboratory hematology. In 2003 this journal, '' Laboratory Hematology'', began to be officially indexed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information,.〔("International journal of laboratory hematology" ), NCBI NLM Catalog.〕 The current journal, ''The International Journal of Laboratory Hematology'', is the official journal of the ISLH. It provides an international forum for new developments in the research and practice of laboratory hematology and includes invited reviews, original articles, research results〔("Iron deficiency may impact metabolic pathways" ). ''Clinical Adviser''.〕 and correspondence. ISLH has been instrumental in standards and guidelines development in laboratory Hematology. In 2001 the organization published the first flow based reference method for platelet counting.〔(" Hematologic Diagnostics Go with the Flow" ). ''Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News'', Aug 1, 2013 (Vol. 33, No. 14) Thalyana Smith-Viko〕 In 2005 it published the document, ''The International Consensus Group for Hematology Review: Suggested Criteria for Action Following Automated CBC and White blood cell Differential Analysis''.〔 This publication gathered 20 leading hematology laboratorians from around the globe to share their views on slide review. It has been used extensively by laboratory hematologists since its publication. ISLH also maintains affiliated with the International Committee for Standardization in Hematology (ICSH), and sponsors review studies in its field. ISLH has also expanded its focus to include a number of sub-disciplines related to laboratory hematology, including Cellular Analysis, Flow Cytometry, Hemostasis and Thrombosis, Molecular Diagnostics, Hematology Informatics, Hemoglobinopathies, Hemolytic Anemias, Point of Care Testing〔("Low-cost neonatal test may save many babies" ). 26 July 2013 ''DNA News'', Heena Kausar〕 and Standards and guidelines. ISLH addresses these with symposia, research and journal reviews.In 2015, the ISLH, has about 900 members from more than 50 countries. It organizes an annual international scientific meetings held in the US, Europe or Asia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Society for Laboratory Hematology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
